Eligibility in the Local Context
The top four percent of students at each participating California
high school are designated UC eligible and are highly encouraged
to apply to one of the nine UC general campuses under the Eligibility
in the Local Context (ELC) pathway.
To be considered for ELC, you must complete 11 specific units of
the subject requirement by the end of your junior year. With the
assistance of each participating high school, the university will
identify the top four percent of students on the basis of GPA in the
required coursework.
The 11 units include one unit of history/social science; three units
of English; three units of mathematics; one unit of laboratory science;
one unit of language other than English; two units chosen
from among other subject requirements.
The university will notify ELC students of their status at the beginning
of their senior year. If you are designated UC-eligible through
ELC, you must submit the university’s undergraduate application
during the November initial filing period and complete remaining
eligibility requirements including the subject and examination
requirements.
The ELC designation is one of the criteria considered by selective
campuses when the number of applicants exceeds the spaces available.
For more information, please see http://www.ucop.edu/sas/elc/.
Minimum Eligibility by Examination Alone
If you do not meet the requirements for Eligibility in the Statewide
Context or Eligibility in the Local Context, you may be able to
qualify for admission to the University by earning high scores
on the standardized tests listed in the Examination Requirement.
Because of the recent changes to the ACT and SAT, the minimum
scores for eligibility by exam alone are being revised. The
new scores will be available at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/
admissions/examonly in late spring 2006.
